Palin Quit to Avoid Criminal Charges

I guess a criminal charge is the only thing that could make Palin practice the art of Pulling Out.

Thanks, Sara
ROTFLMAO! Palin who quit her job as Governor and Arnold who has a state in bankruptcy, now there are two to draw to. The Demos would LOVE the Repubs to run those two as the ticket, Obama would win in a huge landside and the Repubulican Party would be all but done in American politics.

Why isn't she in jail or at least thrown out of office for all that criminal activity? Could it be that all your information comes from HuffPo and some other places like that?

That "bipartisan panel" was from the heavily Democrat legislature that didn't like having her cross them.

It was my understanding that one avoids criminal charges by not breaking the law, or by not getting caught if one does.
If in fact she's broken the law, and this is being investigated, I doubt she'll avoid charges by resigning.
I'd be severely disappointed in our legal system if she did.
Of course, you do know that the legislature is heavily Democrat so it is sure that she won't avoid anything by resigning. People who are thinking like that are the very ones who get excited when I voice my opinion about Our Glorious Leader but use the same kind of words talking about Sarah Palin. If I have crossed you, at all, excuse me, but I just read one of your earlier posts in this thread and think I didn't.

I've heard she took bribes while Mayor of Wasilla. But quitting ahead of the indictment must end her political career. I now am wondering what her role will be in 2012. Maybe she will opt for a job at FOX or guest host on The View

The same information can be found in other sources.

Once again, the disillusionment in Alaska with the governor is not exactly a partisan issue.

You might want to find out which party is in the majority in the AK legislature.

Why Tank are you related to Letterman? You sure sound like him.

I think some people were speculating that it was embezzlement.
